SkyJawa Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Well I sorted my cruise control this am just before a long motorway drive tomorrow so well pleased about that. I cut the cruise control speed input wire just by the connector and spliced on to the odo mph input wire. Cruise now works above 70mph, but I've lost being able to use it at 30, comes on around 40mph now - but more than happy to sacrifice that to be able to set it higher than 70! Also tried my illumination for my defi gauge again, this time coming off the cigarette lighter illumination wire. I spliced into the white wire which I assumed would be + only its still not working so I guess I need to splice into the green one instead. Only a choice of 2 wires and I had a 50/50 chance - dammit!

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Anyone know if it is possible to add the standard supra cruise control onto a car without it?? Want to try and add it onto mine at some point. Ben.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 AFAIK its all part and parcel of loom/ecu stuff, maybe an aftermarket cruise would be a better bet? Paul - Coooooooo-ey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 BTW - 4 trips up the M40 now - I'm sooooooooo glad I did it, been superb It works from about 40mph now which I can deal with losing it starting from 30mph for the usefulness on the m-way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Just in case members don't realise...... Using a scaled speed signal 5/8ths (MPH) to run the cruise means all low and high cruise set points are scaled by 8/5ths. Also the step increment change has also been scaled by 8/5ths. So it will have lower resolution when trying to set a set speed. You may find it O.K. at 79MPH and again at 81MPH but you cannot reach 80MPH, or similar. Just a side effect of the change but well worth it for the gain of cruise to 112MPH. Max 70MPH now 70*8/5 = 112MPH Min 25MPH now 25*8/5 = 40MPH etc Regards Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyJawa Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 Absolutely spot on, exactly what I've found over the last few trips. As you say - well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
